This page lists the changes made to my applications during 2018. Please
note that as I am now retired, I am more likely to release beta updates rather
than "formal" updated versions - please look here
and register for update notification! You can register free of charge to
get automatic e-mails when this page changes and I would urge you to take advantage of
this free service. For my satellite software, please join the SatSignal
self-help user group For my other software
please join the David
Taylor's Software self-help group.
Just as Microsoft has dropped support
for Windows XP, my software is no longer tested or
supported in any version of Windows prior to Windows-7. Both 32-bit and
64-bit versions of Windows are usually supported, and some programs can take
advantage of the larger memory space available with 64-bit Windows.
My programs may continue to work in those earlier versions, but this is
neither guaranteed nor supported. Please update from XP or Vista now.

HRPT Reader |
V3.0.8 - Add enhanced NOAA BD1 thermal LUT,
provide user-defined SST palette (provides better SST detail, 256 entries
coded R,G,B covers the currently defined temperature range, a sample
palette is provided: sst-lut.pal, can be read in batch mode from the
command-line: -sstSST-PAL.pal:corr.jpg, and specify a temperature range on
the command-line too: -sstSST-PAL.pal(15,25):corr.jpg), detect RAW16
satellite type for NOAA-19, fix error with "VI" mode and blank
video, preliminary support for unpacked Meteor-M N2 data (Rob Alblas .DAT
files with header preserved, Oleg .MN2 files, new file has .MSU2

You can also use Fred
van den Bosch's program DownloadPrograms - which will keep an eye on the
version numbers for you!
I do also try and announce new releases on the various
groups such as SatSignal,
GEO-Subscribers
and MSG-1,
and you can
on Twitter.
